Floating point ARM

Can anyone recommend an ARM core based processor that has a floating point hardware unit?



thanks

LPC3180 is the only one I know of.

3180 very new. Philips are currently redoing all their benchmarks for this part.

Dev kits are about 1100 USD!!!!!!!

The 1st dev kit is $1100 USD but other kits will follow.

I hope so.

Somehow the "LPC" (Low Pin Count*) moniker does not seem appropriate to a component having in excess of 300 "pins".

*okay, they've revised it to include Low Power Consumption and Low Part Cost, so maybe 2 out of 3.

You don't say what it is you want besides floating point. Check out Freescale's new i.MX31 parts, 533 MHz ARM11 with vector floating point, if you want performance and lots of peripherals.

And Low Part Count They get lots on one chip so you use fewer chips.

Originally it was Low Pin Count when the launched the LPC700 and LPC900 ranges

This eval Kit will be a lot less expensive

An Schwob.

What exactly does that imply? The power consumption levels that were reported were extremely (that is, unbelievably) low for a processor with a FPU.
